As I already stated, those were pressed disks. So, no, as a factual matter, not "anyone" can do it. I can't imagine what the minimum run of a CD pressing costs, but it's got to be a lot. Not that it matters: People pay for things they could do themselves all the time. That's not really re...

Yes, it is not credible to claim that you spent 80k in a strictly commercial enterprise to create something that had no value. Kind of a problem. Actually, it isn't a problem here. The disks did, in fact, have no value. Anyone, anyone at all, can download and install Windows 10 from the Microsoft w...

I got Metal Gear Solid V for $5 last week and it's been hugely enjoyable, at least once I got past the looooong intro. I *adore* open-world stealth games with plenty of side quests. Thanks for letting us know! I've never played or looked at the MGS series but I love open-world games. To the extent ...

I just did. After a lot of pain and suffering, after replacing a motherboard and having Win10 Pro deactivate itself, I performed a hail-Mary manuver and "enter new product code" in the Activation help screen and put my Windows 7 key in. 60 seconds later, I had an activated copy of Win10. T...

Guild Wars II is good for scratching that solo or play-with-friends MMO itch without fast forwarding a month to realize that it's 3PM on Sunday and you're still in your boxers due to deprioritization of anything that doesn't increment numbers. It's also the best leveling experience I've seen in any...

I got bored with my usual line up of games and went looking for something new/different. I spent around a month looking for a MMO that was acceptable to me and a few friends so we could all play together. We all got bored with Ark and decided Conan Exiles needs more work to make it worth spending m...

Welp, finally saw TLJ. Wasn't as bad as I expected. I can understand where they were going with Luke's character (even if the movie wasn't completely convincing about it), but everything else was a solid "meh". Not horrible, not good. I would normally put in a comment here about how gettin...

Any particular reason you don't like the Amazon Fire HD 10? I'd consider that a good cheap tablet. I have 2 of them in my household (Wife and Mum), including 2 more 7" the kids use. This is indeed what I ended up doing. So far, I haven't even needed to to Root it. Just sideloaded the Play Stor...

@Waco - Could be worse. You could be using Lotus IBM Notes. "It's not dead yet!" :wink: We are. And despite promises it's going away, it looks at this point that it will still be around when we migrate to Windows 10. Wait, what? The email software that failed back in the mid-90's is still...

okay, fair enough. My point that I wanted to make when I said "and people wonder why LOTF and FOTJ..." didn't sell. was that If you think about it, there isn't really any difference between Rey and Jaina And Jacen and Kylo Ren. You're right. What we have is pretty much the same as the bad...

Bluetooth audio doesn't use anywhere near all of that though, and you're still transcoding from one lossy format to another for transmission. But like I said above, Bluetooth audio quality is generally "good enough". Biggest issue I have with it is that the Bluetooth audio on my LG G4 gli...

I agree completely. I have a HD 650 I got on a sale and I am happy to admit that I'm Fulla (2) Schitt as well. Where do you use them? Can you move your setup around? I keep them both with my work laptop, use it for my sound card everywhere I go. Although sometimes I don't wear the HD 650 at work be...

Sennheiser H6XX is $199 semi-regularly on Massdrop. Plenty of used HD600 and HD650 units out there too or good deals as the new but not really improved but slightly different models have come out. That is absolutely audiophile grade. Buy $100 to $400 worth of DAC and amp from say a company like Sch...

Why do you want your car to make more noise? That doesn't make it go any faster. Is it just to annoy others or draw attention? I think they're talking about the kind of noise not the loudness of noise. Although it's highly entertaining every time my coworker's heavily modified Firebird sets off eve...

If you replaced the board, and Windows isn't crashing or otherwise unstable, it's almost certainly a PSU issue. The only other things I can think of are: 1) Faulty power button (but it does try to start when you hit the button, correct?). 2) Minor Short which your PSU is brute-forcing past (You can ...

Bluetooth is my go to option for every situation bar one: Apple Airpods ( give MKBHD some time if you are sceptical ) for general at home/work iPhone/iPad/laptop/Apple TV listening - super easy to switch between devices BeatsX for around the town and working out Sony MDR 1000X for excellent audio w...

Once upon a time I had faith that all developers at least gave their application a cursory run through helgrind prior to deploying anything. Working in the industry for 30+ years will convince you beyond a shadow of a doubt that at least 50% of software developers don't have a f*cking clue what the...

Congrats! Sounds like everything went well. I had a bizarrely problem-free experience myself, replacing a Sandy Bridge-E motherboard and CPU with a Ryzen 1700X. Everything just... worked, no need to re-install Windows 10.

DerFunk, I've resembled that post, although I like to think I grew out of it at a younger age than he sounds to be. Hopefully time and life experience will make him more bearable, although I'd be impressed if you could fix him before your class was up.

Everything seems to hesitate in W10-1709. Open a window and it seems to "grow" onto the screen. I hate that. I want everything, windows, menus etc to snap open and snap closed. In W7 I know how to fix that. W10...Argg. Thanks, jmc2 I'm pretty sure the Registry options are the same between...

What board and PSU are you sitting on? A lot of B350 boards have mediocre phases. I just bought a Strix B350-F as it has better chokes than most B350s and it's a 4+4 configuration. Granted I'm not looking to OC right off the bat, but it should be easy later down the road with this board. ASRock AB3...
